Fascinating sights of Childhood.

As we pass away from the period of
childhood, most of its wonderful sights
lose their fascination. One of these is
the elephant, leading the Girl process
sion through the village street. never
could see it enough, that huge, unearthly
shape. / used to think it strange that
people who were rich enough should not
have one always pacing about their own
back yards.
Another of these spectacles Of child
hood that keeps its charm from me is
the locomotive at full speed. Momen-
tum is but a word in book, except
when l stand as near as / dare to the
Gathering rails, and take the fearful Joy
of seeing, hearing, feeling, touching, 80

iron mass as it reaches me, and is gone.
A different and calmer pleasure is to
watch the train from half miles dis
tance across the fields-how slick is it's
slipping along, without haste, without
rest" as if independently of any pro-
polling force; for it is the train that ap-
pears to run the driving wheels, not the
driving wheels the train. 1t is not mo-
mentum now, but the iniretia of motion;
not missile or projectile, hurled from
behind or drawn from before, but a
thing whose state of speed is as natural
and immutable as to other things the

Forty Knots an Hour.

The idea that it is impossible to propel
ships at the rate of forty knots an hour
is being discussed in Europe. Professor
Thurston, of London, has recently taken
up the subject, and concludes that it Is
possible. The ship that he proposes is to
be 800 feet long, 80 feet beam, and %
feet draught, with displacement of
about $4,000 tons. He estimates the
power required to propel her at $50, 900
horses. He calculates that her ma
chinery and boilers will weigh only sixty
pounds per horse power, or 1900 tons in
all. She would burn about 175 tons Of
coal an hour, 3, 200 tons day, and TO- 500
tons for voyage from Liverpool to New
York. The total weight of fuel and ma
chinery would be about $4,000 tons,
leaving 10000 tons for the ship and
cargo. For the hull he allows $4,000
tons, leaving 5000 tons for crew, pass
engers and cargo.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Curious Facts About the Mule.

| 1t is said that mule can not bray if
you tie a weight to his tail and hold it
down. This was touchingly illustrated
in the cavalry movements that preceded
the second battle of Manassas. Gen.
Stuart, with a large force of cavalry
manoeuvring around the retreating army
Of Pope, got caught between two columns
Of the Union troops, and was oblig to
conceal himself in a dense wood between
two parallel roads along which the
enemy were retreating. He had to lie
low all night until the columns passed
by. Messengers that the Union generals
sent to each other through the woods
were captured and held with as little
noise as possible.
One great difficulty was to keep tho
mules in the ordnance and commissary
wagons from braying and thus calling
the attention of the foe. For this pur-
pose Stuart ordered a man TO be detained
to stand by each mule and whack him
with stick as soon as he offered to
bray; for mule, like an orator, requires
a certain preparation before beginning
his neat and appropriate vocal exercises.
There is preliminary protest made with
the ears, and certain solemnities of the
nostrils, an expression Of sorrow over
spreads the countenance, then the tail is
lifted. A bray does not break forth from
the mule. 1t begins way back in the
abdominal viscera and comes gradually
up. Now, as soon as the cavalry mules
began to prepare for a bray, whack!
whack! would go the sticks, and the
bray would be suppressed-and thus all
night. 1t was said that this was need
less severity, for it would have sufficed
to tie brckbat to the tail of each mule.
